Mp3 collection size?

Today I hit the illustrious 10 GB mark with my Mp3 collection.

I was just wondering if that's at all unusal. What size Mp3 do other people (like yourself) have?

And a side note: I don't care what new programs are out, I still miss the glory days of Napster.

My mp3 downloads folder is 15 GB.

I'm also 3/4 of the way through converting my cd collection to ogg vorbis format and that folder is 17 GB.

And yeah, the final 6 or 8 months of napster really was a glorious time. I don't think things will ever be that good again, legal or illegal. I used to find almost every obscure out of print song I searched for.

i'm at around 4GB. call me crazy..but if i like someone's music i just buy the cd. mostly, all the songs i have are rare singles or live mp3's that aren't on disk anywhere or songs by people that i only like that one song by them.

Right now I have about 65.4 gigs but I add about 2-3 gigs a week. Click right here.


mp3whore

i am only at 20.4 gigs.

I just hit 10 gigs today too. A lot of that is stuff from Kazar, whic I find almost as good as Napster was.
I only hava microscopic slice of my music collection on computer though, have several thousand records (ya know, vinyl) and about the same on CD....

Since we're on the subject... can anyone reccomend a decent p2p for OSX? I've been using limewire but it keeps cutting out on me.

16Kb

BAtAttack, you are my idol!!!
I'm amazed.

Thanks... used hotline when i was still running 9, so this shouldn't be too hard. And to answer your question: 192, iTunes 3.

128k (maximize my 5gb iPod's usefulness)
and itunes

i have 14.94 gigs on itunes. i don't use shareware, it's too slow with a dialup, i just rip everyones entire cd collection. running out of people though. anyone want to start mailing out cds burned with mp's to the brim? i need more more more. i will respond with the same....

edit: in fact i'll mail first "good faith" and all.

About 10gigs.

That's almost entirely singles--I don't do full album downloads. If I like an artist/song enough to download and entire album, I'd rather just go out and buy it so I can have all the artwork and stuff.

About 1gig of that collection is music made by web-designers and posted online for free, though.

I am passing the 20g mark, bu tthe the RIAA went and fucked me up the ass with audiogalaxy, and now I only add when I buy a new cd an import. sad sad sad. myamazon.com wish list is now my main "one day when mac users have a new good way to download music again" resource. I was adding like a gig or so a week a one point, maybe more. I might be at 40, my computer's not here to check.
-wants an mp3 hard drive in the car, or a 20g ipod to hook up in the car with an aux jack,

try KaZaA....www.kazaa.com instead. audiogalaxy is dead.
i can find pretty much anything i want on kazaa.

I only encode at 256, and when I download, I try not to get anything less than 192, but that's just me. I don't file-share or anything, so nobody has to worry about getting large mp3 files from me. I use winamp to play and CDex to rip/encode. (It's free and quite nice, honestly.)

My collection size? Only a few gigs, I believe. I am currently converting my cd collection to mp3's, so that should grow quite a lot. When I *do* download, I only keep what I plan on listening to at some point, and I am constantly weeding things out, so my collection might be smaller than others.

I have
68,532 MP3's
282.71 Gigs

All recorded from my massive CD collection at
192kbps, VBR (Variable Bit Rate) Highest Quality.
All my MP3's have the album art stored in them so that they display the album art when played.



I Love My Music Collection!
